[QUOTE=SuperZest;2219761]Hi guys,
I need your help. I need to book a flight to Margarita but I can not find it.
Can you advise please?[/QUOTE]From Where?
You most likely can't book it online, need to find someone here who sells National tickets. Theyre not expensive, but sometimes get sold out well in advance.

Can you advise please?[/QUOTE]You can't book a direct flight but you can book a flight from Caracas (ccs) to polamar (PMV) on expedia or travelocity. Just remember that flights get delayed a lot so you might want to stay in Caracas for a full day or you might miss your flight. CCS to PMV is like $100 but I think booking from outside gets you automatically upgraded.

Hey Jasoonnn! Are you in Venezuela now? I'm on the verge of booking a flight to either Polamar / Maracabo Venezuela or Medellin Colombia. I wasted last week trying to get a couple girls online to stay with me for the duration but couldn't make it happen. My visa runs out in November but with the black market crack down and the girls canceling on me, I'm thinking about hitting Medellin instead, unless I can meet up with a pro like yourself LOL.
How much does it cost to make / renew a passport for a local? One of my sweetie claims it's 200 $ (USD) to get it in a "express" way. True?
[QUOTE=NamasteParis;2240933] One of my sweetie claims it's 200 $ (USD) to get it in a "express" way. [/QUOTE]Sounds about right, and that's probably only to obtain an appointment. I know of people who had to pay ten times more to get their passports quickly. In theory a new passport costs only BSS 7200, but in practive the procedure is so obtuse, slow, and full of obstacles, that people are willing to pay anything to get it done.

I confirm again that it is possible to have a bank account with a tourist visa. In my case, I have an account at the Banco of Venezuela, another at Banco Nacional de Credito and another at Banco Activo.
The documents to provide: two letters of guarantee from two Venezuelans, a RIF (local tax certificate), a certificate of income or pay slip, a renting house invoice or a water-electricity bill. A good lawyer can provide all these documents.
On the other hand the Banesco refuses to open an account to the tourists.
I am looking at Venezuelan for a trip in Feb. All depends on my visa. Looking at the last 50 reports for guidance I still need help. Can any member give me a hotel that is near the action but will not break the bank.

Do you know how to exchange usd to bolivars? That's going to get you more than anything else. With the official exchange you are better off going somewhere else.

We hope the sooner the better!
As some of you maybe aware of I usually post in the Medellin section and I am planning on a recon to update the list for Cucuta within the next month and a half. In preparation for this I have started to correspond with some cuties in Venz on Latin American Cupid site, my plan is to invite them to Cucuta for the week when I will be there, the monkey wrench is if and when the cucuta border crossings open back up. Stay tuned.

(also from Latin American Cupid) What credentials will she need to cross nowadays? Will the same be true for flights inside Colombia or off to other countries like Mexico? Basically how do people escape VNZ? How are they crossing into Cucuta? And maybe some idea of travel expense I might risk paying.

The 3 or 4 have returned to their respective city in Venezuelan and will make the return trip as needed.
Basically none of them have any problems with doing this: they will travel by bus from their home city to the border crossing at about Cucuta then for a small fee they make contact with a "guide" and follow a foot path from Venezuelan over the border into Colombia. The chicas I have spoken to have paid a small fee to the coyote of about $5. USD or less to get them across, it is relatively safe and they travel in small groups and takes about 20 minutes. The crossing is located about 6 miles north of the international bridge in Cucuta. Literally thousands each day make this trek.
So yes should you meet a Venie on any dating site such as LAC or the like this is most likely how they would enter Colombia.
